Please be noted that the PEAK 715-HT Series support Double Data (DDR333) SDRAM. Configurations using different brands of memory modules are not recommended. -
Page 19: Installing Dimm
3.2 Installing DIMM To install DIMM: 1. Make sure the two handles of the DIMM sockets are in the “open” position, i.e. the handles stay outward. Figure 3-1 : How to Install DIMM (1) 2. Slowly slide the DIMM modules along the plastic guides in the both ends of the socket. -
Page 20: Figure 3-3 : How To Install Dimm (3)
3. Then press the DIMM module down right into the socket, until a click is heard. That means the two handles automatically locked the memory modules into the right position of the DIMM socket. Figure 3-3 : How to Install DIMM (3) 4. -
Page 21: Change Cpu
3.3 Change CPU To change the CPU: 1. Pull the handling bar of the socket upward to the other end to loosen the socket’s openings. Carefully lift the existing CPU up to remove it from the socket. 2. Place the new CPU on the middle of the socket, orienting its beveled corner to line up with the socket’s beveled corner. -
